The sharp and ear-piercing scream once again penetrated everyone's eardrums. The soul-destroying woman rolled like a mad dog in the bright blue formation, but there seemed to be an invisible barrier around the formation that bound her.

Within it, no matter how hard she struggled, she could not escape.

Outside the formation, a vague figure was changing various seals with his hands, muttering complex spells in his mouth. After several changes, the formation suddenly changed from blue to dazzling white in an instant.

The life-absorbing line suddenly broke and disappeared, and a group of people below us also resumed their free movement. Many people looked at the soul-destroying woman in the sky, wailing in pain, and kept shouting the words "Come on, hero".

But more often than not, there are all kinds of unpleasant words used to verbally insult Soul Captor...

Ahem, quality~~~, quality~~~

The formation continued to rotate, and the Soul Captor gradually became quiet as if she had been drained of all her strength. Finally, she floated in the center of the formation, motionless as if she had fallen asleep; while the thoughts of the husband and wife who cast the spell appeared several times.

After strong suppression, he finally shouted: "Seal!" The huge formation was compressed to the size of a bowl and held on the palm of his hand. The dazzling light originally emitted by the formation was also dimmed a lot, with only a few remaining.

The white balls circle evenly around the formation like the moon circles the earth.

The spiritual thought that suppressed the Soul Captor only looked at the village with nostalgia, and then slowly disappeared into the air.

The oppression covered by the black fog in the sky dissipated instantly, and the bright sunshine spread on everyone's face.

"Congratulations to all the players in Yinxian Village for completing the mission [The Ghost Remains] and successfully sealing the Thousand-Year-Old Corpse Demon Soul Capturer. All players who participated in the mission will have a level +1 and will be rewarded with a random white outfit of level 3-8."

"Yinxian Village successfully broke the demon curse, the number of NPCs in the village increased by 30, and the village area increased."

"Yinxian Village successfully sealed the Soul Capturer, the village's reputation +10,000, and the village territory returned to Huangfu City."

"We won! We won! Ah haha!" "Yeah! Oh ho!" "I got a bronze outfit!! Bronze outfit!!"...

As soon as the system announcement ended, countless cheers erupted in the village. Some people were excited about getting the equipment they were looking for, others were intoxicated by the atmosphere of united efforts, and some even hugged the beautiful female player next to them, and then received a backhand slap in the face.

.

"father!"

At the entrance of the village, a strong man carrying a pole, carrying his wife and children, shouted to an old man in the village.

The old man stared blankly at the longing faces at the entrance to the village, trembling with excitement, opening and closing his lips, not knowing what to say.

"Dad! We are back!"

The young man couldn't stop the tears in his eyes, dropped the pole on his shoulders and ran towards the old man who was already in tears.

well……

The scene of reunion is always touching. The curse of the village is lifted, and the newly added NPCs are nothing more than a bunch of young people who come back one after another. They are all the younger generations who were forced to leave to avoid the disaster. Some people reunite with their parents.

Excited tears filled the eyes; some people returned home and saw that their parents were no longer alive, and they knelt on the ground and cried loudly. The various scenes of reunion after separation made everyone moved.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.

"Old man, I have to apologize to you! I feel sorry for you. I even used it as a foreshadowing for you when I was beaten. I will definitely remember this as a link between the past and the future!"

I bowed deeply to the place where the old man died to show respect and make myself feel better. After all, he played an important sacrificial role in this plan.

"Congratulations on your upgrade, current level: 3"

[shabby common clothes]:

Quality: ordinary

Level:3

Physical Defense:10

The system randomly rewards level 3-8 equipment, and I got the bottom one perfectly. Although the attributes and appearance are a bit unsightly, it is better than nothing after all. I put on the cloth made of cowhide material and gestured with the corners of the clothes.

Although it doesn't look very pleasing to the eye, it fits me very well. But then again, I am the "mastermind" behind the incident. I don't even have an extra small reward. The system is really capable of cheating.

"You brat! You don't have a lot of strength, but you have a lot of strength!"

“Bang!!!”

"oops!!"

There was a familiar voice from behind, and then there was the feeling of being hit hard by something on my head. It hurt so much that I covered my head and grinned.

I turned around angrily and saw that the old man who had been thinking about me just now was standing in front of me with a smile on his face.

"Old man! You are not..."

"What's wrong? Have you never seen a ghost?"

I didn't have time to praise the old man for his wit, but I was already shocked beyond measure by the characters in front of me!

The old man who was still very weak an hour ago has now put on a black gown with red patterns and a pair of black patterned boots. He is holding an exquisite smoking pot in his right hand and his left hand is behind his back. Originally,

The gray and messy hair was neatly tied up in a bun, and the whole person looked very energetic!!

"Old man, your reincarnation speed is so fast..."

"Bang!"

This little pipe looks small and delicate, but it would really hurt if it hit someone on the head!

"You brat, you're neither old nor young, how can you talk to your elders!"

The old man angrily scolded me for not knowing etiquette, but his eyes were full of kindness.

"Hey, I can't apologize to you, junior, but weren't you just..."

The questions in my mind made me speak out directly what I wanted to ask.

"I know what you want to ask. Just follow me and everything will be understood."

The old man waved his hand and asked me to follow him, then turned and walked towards a courtyard in the distance.

Wait? Courtyard?

I came back to my senses, turned around and looked around. The barren and backward village had turned into a village several hundred meters wide in a short period of time; the newly joined young NPC was building a clanking building.

Building houses and repairing walls; a simple blacksmith shop and medicine shop have already hung up their signs, and many buildings are still being built. Some NPCs have returned to their positions after completing the buildings and began to accept quest inquiries from players.

and purchased and sold supplies.

The initial resources of the village are all fair.

Perhaps other villages have similar hidden plots and hidden development conditions, but we don’t know this.

The conditions for the development of Yinxian Village are that after everyone goes through such an experience together, they can break the curse, thereby obtaining some small additional rewards, and then restore the village to its scale.

The current village can truly be called a village! It can even be called a village!

Moreover, on the small streets, there are already sporadic guards patrolling back and forth with weapons. There is a big word "Fu" on the front and back of their clothes. It seems that they should be added to the system after belonging to Huangfu City.

of guards.

These should be reinforcements given by the reputation of that village. The higher the reputation of the village, the larger the village size and NPC population, and it will slowly develop into a town, even a large town, or even an imperial city.

Hum, disgusting bureaucratic feudalism!

When the village was ravaged by demons, the imperial city not only had no guards to reinforce it, but was not even willing to give the village a title, leaving the poor NPCs in the village to fend for themselves; but when the village saved the day and sealed the demon,

The village was re-accepted in a grand manner, granted status and reinforcements, as if the demon's seal was all based on the majesty of the imperial city, as if he was sitting back and enjoying the benefits.

Although he is indignant at the cruelty of this reality, it is an indisputable fact that the village already has a certain scale of self-defense and business capabilities. Moreover, after taking shape, the operation system contained in the village can even be comparable to some small towns, which is an urgent need for

For players who are developing in the early stage, it is a great advantage.

Although most of the credit is the result of everyone's joint efforts, I can't help but feel complacent and intoxicated with the dream of the savior in my heart. I don't know if the system will give some extra rewards, but the old man in front of me is probably me.

Your noble man, after all, saving the village is no small matter. If he trembles and throws out a bunch of artifacts to me and insists on me choosing a bunch, then I can't refuse~

While thinking this, he followed the old man who had walked a little further with cheerful steps, and headed straight for the courtyard in the distance.

Stepping into the ancient and simple courtyard, I looked around with infinite freshness. Although I have loved online games since I was a child, and I have seen countless scenes no matter how realistic they are, but when I am really immersed in the scene, I still feel...

An irresistible sense of beauty.

The yard is not big, just about the same size as the village committee yard in an ordinary village. The simple courtyard walls around it have a faint dark blue color; and the house facing it is not as grand as a palace, only dark blue.

The stone tile roof, with a stone dragon head statue installed on each corner of the roof, looks relatively new. It must have been taken into account when the yard was newly built, and these rigorous details can only be discovered if you pay careful attention.

After walking through the yard, the old man pushed open the creaking wooden door, turned around and waved to me, gesturing for me to come over.

He stepped up the bluestone steps, crossed the threshold and walked into the house.

The wooden door behind him suddenly closed with a bang. Only some paper windows let in light in the dark room. The dim light made the atmosphere slightly eerie.

Just when I was about to turn around and ask the old man what was going on, he raised his hand and put his index finger in front of his mouth, making a "shhh" sound to signal me to keep my voice down, and then slowly pointed to the curtain on the left; I nodded knowingly.

, walked over slowly and carefully lifted the curtain.

In front of him, in a not too big space, an offering table was placed against the wall. On it were two very new spiritual tablets placed side by side. In front of it were several plates of fruit for worship, and a small cauldron with incense.

.

On the spiritual tablet, there are only words written on the beloved son and daughter-in-law respectively, only the title, but no name or surname.

"Are these..."

"Yes, the ones enshrined here are my late son and daughter-in-law."

The old man's face was full of memories, he looked at the memorial tablet kindly and peacefully, and his words were full of yearning for his children and grandchildren. When he came back to his senses, he slowly shook his head and just sighed softly.
To be continued...
